TM3 vs Zanda: The Best Alternative to TM3 for Allied Health Practitioners
Why users look for a TM3 alternative
Running an allied health practice is demanding enough without software adding friction. Many practices using TM3 for practice management reach a point where the features they need are locked behind premium tiers, and admin tools don't match how they work day to day. Between admin user costs, onboarding fees, and limited flexibility, it's easy to feel boxed in by the system meant to help.
Zanda was built to remove those barriers. Designed by practitioners, it brings scheduling, billing, notes, communication, automation, and secure AI together in one connected platform. Pricing is straightforward, admin users are free, and support is included.
TM3 vs Zanda: Top highlights
Transparent pricing
When software costs are hidden behind quotes, it creates unnecessary stress. TM3 charges for every admin user, including reception, and information about onboarding or data migration costs isn't available online. As practices grow, extra charges can add up quickly, making it harder to budget with confidence.
Zanda keeps pricing simple and upfront. You pay per practitioner; admin users are free, and data migration comes at no additional charge. Support is included from day one. There's also a 12-month money-back guarantee, so you can move forward knowing that we're working hard to earn your trust.
Features designed for unlimited potential
As practices grow, core workflows can end up locked behind higher pricing tiers. With TM3, features such as the client portal, online payments, class management, and automated debt collection are available only with the more expensive Connect plan. That means paying extra just to run everyday admin.
Zanda takes a simpler approach. All essential features are available across all plans, including two-way SMS, automated forms, invoicing automations, and the client portal. You're not pushed into upgrades just to complete basic tasks. Your workflows stay consistent, your team stays aligned, and your system supports your practice's needs.
Affordable, in-platform AI
AI should support clinicians without introducing extra steps into workflows. With TM3, AI-generated notes require integration and need to be manually copied into clinical records unless you're on a higher-cost plan. Automatic field population comes at a premium, and AI pricing increases per user, which can limit adoption across teams.
Zanda includes BizzyAI: Refine and BizzyAI: Write as part of the standard subscription. You can polish notes and draft templates and letters at no additional cost. BizzyAI: Scribe drafts clinical notes from your sessions. Every plan includes 4 AI Scribe appointments per practitioner a month, and AI Pro adds unlimited AI Scribe for £19 per practitioner a month.
Practice Operations Manual
Zanda includes an in-platform Practice Operations Manual with over 100 policy and procedure templates. Developed by industry experts, it helps you set expectations, reduce risk, and support compliance. Configure policies to suit your practice, keep everything in one place, and give your team a playbook they can rely on.
